Machida fans are like Celine Dion fans

LMFAO -a 'bigger martial arts fan'.... Im not 'asbig a martial arts fan'??

WTF!?

Ok - 'big martial arts fan' if it will stop you crying - I do respect Lyoto. Of course I do - he fights in a freaking cage for a living. And he is good at it.

Feel better now?

OMFG - is anyone else getting this?

Lol. Thanks for teaching me what 'martial arts is'.

Not this shit again. -.-

I love this analogy, haha.

I'm a Machida fan, but I definitely don't want to be lumped in with the elitest fans that think they are 50 IQ points smarter than non Machida fans. Arrogant elitist fans of Machida remind me of this.

LMFAO!

Best comparison ever! (in Comic Book Guy's voice)

[Tito Fan**]

Why?
He fought his heart out - he knew it was his last hurrah.
Lyoto ran away and landed some VERY limited (though admittedly effective offense).
Who you going to go for? a spirited, aggressive fighter,who wants to engage, fight and give the crowd a show or an 'elusive' brilliant fighter running around in circles avoiding everything fighting only to win not necessarily to finish?

That's why Tito is a fan favourite whereas Lyoto will always be the running man. Skilled, no doubt, but he's not active enough for exciting mixed martial arts bouts.

Wow... this is the best Troll thread since 'I got Married last weekend'

Maybe Machida fans are like Celine Dion fans, but Machida haters are way more annoying than Celine Dion haters. At least Celine Dion haters don't feel the need to explain to Celine Dion fans why they hate her so much seventy times a day without coming up with a single new reason. Instead they just choose not to listen to her.

Please just stop watching Machida if you don't like him. I don't think he'll cry.

We understand and appreciate music / MMA (tell me I dont, I'll just laugh at you.)
BUT WE DONT HAVE TO ENJOY WATCHING HER AND ARE SICK OF HER FANS TELLING US WHY WE SHOULD LOVE HER.

Not bad actually.

I was having a talk about singers recently and her name came up as being technically incredible but that I didn't care for her voice at all and don't like her music. I said in example the lead singer from Godsmack isn't a great singer, he isn't technically sound or have much range but I think he has a bad ass voice. He's like that brawler that swings for the fences, isn't all that great but you love watching him fight, lol.

So I can where you are coming from with that comparison, but I do like Machida as a fighter and enjoy watching his fights.
